Zegna Investor Presentation Deck

Ermenegildo Zegna Group My name is Ermenegildo «Gildo>> Zegna. What am I doing in New York? My grandfather, Ermenegildo Zegna, was born near the turn of the century in Trivero, a poor and remote village in the foothills of the Italian Alps. At that time, the most sought-after wool fabrics were made in England. My grandfather's dream was to produce in Trivero the world's best fabrics. This took years of hard work. He then traveled back and forth across the Continent persuading. Europe's finest tailors that what he was selling had no equal on earth. His reputation grew, and so did his factory. Profits were used to build homes, hospitals and recreational facilities the employees. My grandfather loved and appreciated nature. In the moun- tains he planted one million trees. He also built a road from: the bottom of the valley to the top of the Bielmonte mountain. The "Panoramica Zegna", another vision which became a reali- ty, is forever a symbol of his dedication and commitment to beauty. Grandfather also established the highly prized Ermenegildo Zegna trophy, awarded annually to the grower of the finest Australian merino sheep wool. Soon fifty percent of the very best wool produced in the world was purchased by his company. The King of Italy was very impressed by Grandfather's achievements. In recognition, he honored him with the title, "Count of Monterubello". When his sons, Aldo and Angelo, took over grandfather's responsibilities, they followed in his footsteps and carried the dream even further. Their goal was to design and produce gentlemen's clothing with exquisite Italian flair. Starting with the world's best natural fibers, and using a complete and uni- que manufacturing process, they created a totally coordinated line of products As new factories were built for the production of coordinated lines of clothing, sportswear and accessories, the Ermenegildo Zegna Group came into existence, soon becoming a world leader. The management team to which I belong has trained in Italy and abroad. We have all learned that only through dedication, creativi- ty, and innovation can we excel in our field. Ermenegildo Zegna You will find that in one respect nothing has changed since my grandfather's time; we have re- tained his vision for legendary quality in everything we do.
